I have tried many combinations using that, including what seems to be the most likely (for comparing a string to a string)

<vb:if condition"($rkc_variable1['class_1']='ClassType1')">Success <vb:else />Failure </vb:if>

Now, if i change it to ='' then it will return "Failure", but if anything at all is there, then it returns "Success".

My goal is to use a <select> menu for set options when editing an object currently saved to the database. Example:

Choose Class Type:  
<select name="set_class1" id="set_class1" value="{vb:raw rkc_variable.class_1}">
<option value="">Choose Class</option>
<option value="ClassType1"<vb:if condition"($rkc_variable1['class_1']='ClassType1')"> selected="selected"</vb:if>>ClassType1</option>
<option value="ClassType2"<vb:if condition"($rkc_variable1['class_1']='ClassType2')"> selected="selected"</vb:if>>ClassType2</option>
</select>

Every combination of conditional i have tried just returns the bottom value that has the conditional in it, in this example ClassType2 would show even if the set value in the database was ClassType1. My guess is its just a syntax issue on getting the conditional phrased just right.

if it helps, i have the following code in the plugin to register it:

$templater = vB_Template::Create('rkc_customtemplate');
$templater->register_page_templates();
$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
$templater->register('rkc_getobject', $rkc_getobject);
$templater->register('rkc_variable1', $rkc_variable1);
print_output($templater->render());
